Climb For the Cure

1 in 300 children and their families face a new challenge to climb every year and every one of those children and families embrace that challenge. In 1950 only 10% made it to the top but by the mid 90's 75% made it to the top. Climb For The Cure is about helping 100% of those kids get to the top of their challenge. Sometimes its scary and hard, but if the kids can do it anyone can. They inspire us and lead us to the top.

This is Michael Endrizzi, I am the organizer of Climb For A Cure. I was told about a child that had leukemia. His treatments left his skin in a sad state that required full body bandages that had to be changed periodically. His only request was that they put on Aerosmith so he could loudly sing while they painfully changed his bandages. Other than that he was the perfect loving happy child.

Unfortunately I never knew this child his family or his name but for some reason the story stirred something in my soul. These kids take on challenges every day that are my worst nightmares. They take it on with a smile and love. I could never be their equals in life.

The best I could do is try and make sure they all make it to the top of their climbs. That's why I started Climb For A Cure. If these kids can climb the mountains that are my nightmare, I figured the rest of us could help them by climbing walls that are totally safe but still provide a window into the scary side that is only 1% of the unknown that these kids face. If they can do it with a smile, so can we. Can't WE!!!!!
